Bank mergers: As FM Sitharaman

promises smooth transition, here's
what it means for customers of
these 10 banks
Merger of banks is a time consuming process which may go on for several months.
However, it is made sure during the process that there is minimum disruption or
inconvenience for customer.
In order to prepare the Indian economy to reach $5 trillion GDP level, the
Union government has announced the third round of bank consolidation in
which 10 public sector banks (PSB) are being merged to four. Punjab National
Bank will merge with Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank to create
the second largest bank in terms of business. Canara Bank and Syndicate Bank
will merge to create fourth largest state-owned bank. Union Bank of India will
merge with Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank to create the fifth largest PSB.
Indian Bank will be merged with Allahabad Bank to create the seventh largest
PSB. The government is trying to create big banks with greater financial
strength to provide funding to the needs of a growing India. However, what
could be the impact of this merger on the customers of these banks is a bigger
question? Here is what you can expect.
How the process works
Merger of banks is a time consuming process which may go on for several
months. However, it is made sure during the process that there is minimum
disruption or inconvenience for customers. The government has been careful
in selecting and merging only those banks that operate on the same software
platform which will make the transition smooth. Most backend processes are
integrated with the help of technology without disturbing customers. Among
merging banks, the largest one often plays the role of anchor bank and the
merged bank takes the identity of the largest bank.
Hiccups during transition
During the merger process, consumers will have to deal with minor
difficulties. Whenever backend technological integration takes place it often
needs downtime when customers cannot carry out transactions. These
downtimes are usually planned late night so that a minimum number of
consumers get affected. Often customers of one bank are used to process and
culture of the bank and may find some difficulty as the merged entity may do
things differently.
Greater reach and accessibility for customers
A merger enhances geographical reach of the all merging entities. As a
consumer you will benefit as you can access your bank branch at more places
which were earlier not on the bank network. Similarly, number of ATMs which
customer can access also increases. People who are in professions which
require frequent travel will find it helpful that their bank branch and ATM are
available at new places.
Branch Rationalisation
There are many localities in which multiple branches of these merging banks
operate on individual basis. After merger, number of such branches will be
reduced allowing the merged entity to spread into new geography by utilising
resources released by removing duplication. However, some customers will
find the most conveniently accessible and closest branch being shut.
What will happen to your debit card and chequebook?
Customers of smaller banks will automatically receive new debit cards and
cheque books before the effective date of merger. Therefore if you are
customer of any merging bank you should make sure that you have your
correspondence address and contact details updated so that you receive any
communication from the bank.
How will eBanking work?
In terms of net banking the practice is to initially add the option of your old
bank login option on the website of the largest bank. Later on customers are
given a new login ID and password of the merged entity in due course. Same
will happen for mobile banking apps as account holders will receive new
credential in terms of User ID and password to join the mobile banking app
the merged entity.
Better product and services
All merging banks bring their best practices and product strength. As a result,
the merged entity is able to learn and offer better quality products and services
to consumers. It has the option to pick the least costly and better process
among merging banks to offer to customers.
Competitive lending rate
Though large PSBs which enjoy bigger CASA (Current Account and Saving
Account) Deposit Ratio are the cheapest source of funds for the bank and
hence they are able to offer loans to consumer at quite competitive rates.
Many smaller PSBs do not have higher CASA ratio hence are not able to offer
competitive low rate loan to their customers. After merger the customer of
even these banks will be able to get loans at very competitive rate

Cabinet eases norms on single brand

retail trade; provides booster dose for
sugar exports, contract manufacturing
To help revive economic activity by attracting more
foreign direct investment (FDI), the Union Cabinet on
Wednesday relaxed several rules in areas such as
single-brand retail, contract manufacturing, coal mining
and digital media. Most of the decisions taken on
Wednesday are in line with the announcements made in
the Union Budget last month.
The Union Cabinet has also approved setting up of 75
government medical colleges in areas where no such
colleges exist; extending export subsidy to 6 million
tonnes of sugar worth ₹6,268 crore; and establishing an
international Coalition for Disaster Resilient
Infrastructure (CDRI), with a supporting Secretariat
Office in New Delhi.
Also, 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route has
been allowed in contract manufacturing to give a boost
to domestic manufacturing, Commerce and Industry

The worst year for Indian aviation in six years
Is the Indian aviation sector heading for its worst year in the past six years? Recent numbers from
the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) show that domestic air passenger growth was just
3.15 per cent in the first seven months of 2019. That's just a fraction of the 21.8 per cent growth
achieved during the same period of 2018. The weak consumer sentiments, capacity correction after
the fall of Jet Airways and high airfares have contributed to the subdued air passenger traffic.
Since the beginning of 2019, air passenger traffic started slipping, but the real trouble
started when Jet Airways went out of business in April. It led to sudden vacuum in
capacity, which meant higher airfares
The key to lifting the gloom is in raising the income of working population through
better wages to revive consumption demand

Exports to be factored in to meet 30% domestic sourcing norm
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday relaxed the rules for single-brand retail, more than seven
years after the foreign investment cap was removed for the segment to attract marquee
foreign brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ikea and others into the country. The latest
government move is in line with the recent Budget announcements on FDI changes.
While 30 per cent local sourcing remains a mandatory condition for single-brand retail, the
government has now agreed to a long-standing industry demand to make things easier for
foreign retailers. With the change, foreign retailers’ India buy for exports will be factored in
to meet the 30 per cent domestic sourcing norm. Companies in the single-brand space can
also start online retailing without opening brick-and-mortar stores first, something that was
not allowed earlier. While 100 per cent FDI is allowed in single-brand retail, whenever the
foreign investment exceeds 51 per cent, the mandatory local sourcing norm kicks in.
“Single brand reforms will have a long-lasting impact in boosting market hygiene, enhancing
customer satisfaction and most importantly raising mobile handset retail to international
standards. Iconic stores of global standards have a symbolic value for the nation too”, said
Pankaj Mohindroo, of India Cellular And Electronic Association.
Toyota, Suzuki enter into

capital alliance amid a shake-up
in auto industry
Japanese automobile majors Toyota Motor Corp and Suzuki Motor Corp on Wednesday
announced a “capital alliance” for equity investment into each other. While Toyota will
acquire 4.94 per cent shares of Suzuki, worth $908 million, the latter will make a $454-
million investment in the biggest automaker of Japan.
The latest investment comes months after the two companies announced a cross-badging
deal under which they would manufacture vehicles for each other in the Indian market.
Premium products from the Maruti stable such as the Baleno, Ciaz and Vitara Brezza will be
sold under the Toyota brand with small changes. In return, Maruti will get technical know-
how, which will help the company develop hybrid and electric cars. With the government
giving impetus to cleaner fuel, the industry expects Maruti will have a significant advantage
where it can develop such vehicles using Toyota’s research and development prowess.
Using Toyota’s know-how and facilities, Maruti is currently testing around 50 electric vehicle
(EV) prototypes in the country

MUMBAI: The number of Indian households using toilet cleaners has doubled as companies invested in building
awareness about hygiene after the launch of the government’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ initiative about five years ago.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ mission, the government has built more than 90 million toilets
across the country. As a product segment, toilet cleaners were used at 22.5%, or nearly 65 million, households as of
June quarter compared with 10.4%, or 29 million households when the sanitation programme was launched,
according to global consumer research firm Kantar Worldpanel.
Bathroom sanitation products makers, including RB, Hindustan Unilever and Dabur, have since invested heavily in
spreading awareness on better hygiene practices.RB, which sells market leader brand Harpic, also roped in actors
Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar—who acted in the sanitation-promoting movie ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’—as
brand ambassador for its cleanliness drive. .
“Harpic, itself, is a massive innovation, including the nozzle which goes under the rim. India was also the first market
to launch a Rs 5 pack of a sachet with a nozzle,” said Sukhleen Aneja, marketing director - Hygiene & Home, South
Asia at RB. “For behaviour change habitbuilding communication, we brought Akshay Kumar as a change agent, who
stood for a point of view on sanitation, helped us state the cause and gave us voice to massify the sanitation
mission.
Five years ago, the government had pledged to make India open defecation-free by October 2019 through the
construction of at least 120 million toilets across the country. In February this year, the government claimed to have
constructed 92 million toilets.

Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has notified the National Policy on Electronics 2019 (NPE 2019)
which envisions promoting domestic manufacturing and export in the entire value-chain of electronics to achieve a
turnover of USD 400 billion by 2025. This presents a huge opportunity for the companies in the electronics

Age of third-degree torture is over, Amit

Shah tells police
The age of third-degree torture was over and the police should stay a step

and forensic evidence, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Wednesday
He was speaking at the 50th foundation day of the Bureau of Police Research

Mr. Shah said old police concepts should be revived for investigation and

criminals to escape the clutches of law.

Airtel, Jio plan HUL tie-up for new consumer connect
The telcos will expand beyond time-bound tariff plan oriented content tie-ups to find expand customer base and push

consumers will give HUL cloud-based analytics for better insight into consumer behavior. According to persons aware
of the new strategy adopted by the FMCG firm and the two operators, the business model chalked out so far will be
like this - an Airtel or Jio customer will get higher discount vouchers of HUL products on the mobile app if he/she
moves up the tariff plan. These vouchers will be used only in kirana stores and this in turn will help the consumer
company to track the kind of products its customers are buying.
